I notice any survey Perez posts, that whatever the topic is, everyone will vote opposite. In other words, "is the sky blue? " and majority will vote "NO". "Are clouds white?" the majority will vote "NO".

I think the *&^% it good, Speed Racer's animation was cheap and that added to the quality of the cartoon. The movie went so over the top that it's just horrible it isn't simplistic it just part of the inundated visual society that we are a part of. It not visually striking to me it's just doing what everybody else is doing.

One of the Wachowski's had a sex change, so you may want to repsect her wishes and not refer to them as brother's, considering how you always are up in arms over how gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trangender people are treated.

It looks like they made this flick for the Tween set — and should have gone with a less kiddie feel. It looks totally stupid — and I was a fan of the original show.
I mean — PEOPLE DIED in the original show. How cool is that?

It's actually really good. I enjoyed it as an art piece. It is really different from anything else I've seen. I love the way it is edited… the characters and props swiping the screen. It's really unique. You'll need to put on your fantasy cap. Isn'…(read more)t that what we want though? To be a part of a fantasy on the screen? I watched it and enjoyed it as I would a piece of art on exhibit.

Perez, you should know better as a supposed crusader for GLBT rights. The Wachowskis are no longer the Wachowski "brothers", as one of them has transitioned into a woman. I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate you calling her a man.

the more previews that i see for speed racer, the more i am turned off from the movie. i think that the goal was to keep the movie as animated as possible without it actually being an animated film, but i don't think that the idea translated well.i think iron man will come out on top again this weekend.

I saw a prescreening of the movie two days ago, and it was one of the best movies I've seen in years. It's poprocks for the eyes, surreal and over the top. I will admit that it was in part written for kids (hence the reason Hot Wheels had displays set up for the kids to play with outside the theater), but you can say the same for most "childish" flicks that can appeal to grown-ups as well. It's definitely acted in a campish way, but in the end, it is well written and definitely pays homage for the original cartoon. Recommended!

Not planning on watching this at all… why? Who the fuck decided it would be a good idea to cast Emile Hirsch in the title role?? Seriously???? He's a good actor, but he does not fit this character at ALL! That's definitely a main factor that I believe is causing people to find it difficult to garner an interest in going to see this project. Bad BAD BAAADD CASTING CHOICE!

I went to the screening last night with my friend who interns at Warner Brothers, and the movie is kick ass….at first i didnt even want to go but i am glad i did. if you think it looks bad, go see it because you will most likely change your mind. the colors are vivid and the action is hot…go see this movie if you are free this weekend, its amazing…the Wachowski brother and sister did a good job on this film.

JT, You Are A Studio Plant. The Critics Meter At Rotten Tomatoes Doesn't Lie!!! Speed Racer Has Only Received A 38% Critics Approval Rating…One Of The Lowest In The History Of The Rotten Tomatoes Rankings–Especially For A Major Film, One That Was Once Being Eyed As A Possible Block Buster!!! Warner Brothers, It Is Time To Remove Joel Silver As The Producer Of The Wonder Woman Movie And Put Joss Whedon Back In Place As The Project's Writer/Director!!! Silver And The Wachowski Brothers Are Finished!!! Speed Racer Has Destroyed Their Reputations!!!

Saw it last night. It's good, and it's dazzling, and it actually has heart. This is what I hate about these days, a movie gets slaughtered before it even OPENS. Give it a chance. I highly doubt that many people will be that disappointed by the film.

They fucked up by marketing it to "families." I saw a preview for it and they must have said the word "family" 50 times (okay maybe only 15), but they completely alienated their biggest audience - kids who used to actually watch that show and who now have money and are in their late 20's… they're the ones who have the money to spend on a movie. Families are spending their money on gas and bills - not movies.

Box Office Forecasters are expecting Speed Racer to pull in something in the $35-45 million range. The very same people are calling for a $45-55 million weekend for Iron Man. So, I'm not sure where these $25-35 million estimates are coming from since $35 million seems to be on the low end of expectations.

While the edge goes to Iron Man to be #1 again this weekend, it's likely not going to be total domination by one movie over the other.

But still, even with these "corrected" figures available, Speed Racer will likely not be a huge hit and will make little profit, if any at all. Just saying…

i was debating going to see the movie, not because i wanted to see it, but because the TWILIGHT trailer is supposed to be played before the movie..
but it's going to be online so i'm saving my money instead.

i'm not seeing it till it comes out to dvd lol.i just think it sad that hollywood can't come up with anything original its all from books, old tv shows, newer tv shows, or movies already made in japan.

I won't watch it because-they did a poor job of casting Speed Racer, he looks like Jack Black. I think Zac Effron would have been a better choice just my opinion. signed *True fan of the original Speed Racer cartoons

In the fiery post, Ms. Palmer believes Kylie changed her appearance to gain "society's affection" after fans repeatedly called her "ugly".

Not only does the actress feel this type of bullying is wrong, but she also finds the entire situation grossly ironic considering fans STILL trash the reality star for being fake. It's definitely a lose lose situation, right?!
